26 Then Robin he set his horn to his mouth, And blew but blasts three; Then quickly anon there came Little John, And all his company. 27 ‘What is your will?’ then said Little John, ‘Good master come tell it to me;’ ‘I have brought hither the sheriff of Notingham, This day to dine with thee.’ 28 ‘He is welcome to me,’ then said Little John, ‘I hope he will honestly pay; I know he has gold, if it be but well told, Will serve us to drink a whole day.’ 29 Then Robin took his mantle from his back, And laid it upon the ground, And out of the sheriffeś portmantle He told three hundred pound. 30 Then Robin he brought him thorow the wood, And set him on his dapple gray: ‘O have me commended to your wife at home;’ So Robin went laughing away. * * * * * #A.# 1^2. bughe. 1^3. d _in_ head _has a tag to it: Furnivall_. 6^4. 3. _After_ 9^2, 17^4, 25^4, _half a page gone_. 13^4. 5. 15^4. 30[ty :]. 17^3. 4. 18^3. 300[li :]. 19^3. cacth: in thy. 20^1. 7. 24^3. 100[d :]. 28^3. p_ro_ _for_ for. #B. a.# Robin Hood and the Butcher.
